Muo Glandish
this small-time smuggler used to dive into the StarForge Nebula to avoid being captured by Old Republic forces, until he finally got tired of it and established a base on operations on an asteroid in the nebula. The base grew as more and more smugglers and pirates realized that Glandish had the right idea, and Glandish made a tidy profit skimming profits from the smugglers as "rent." The asteroid base grew into StarForge Station, and Glandish invested most of his profits into expanding and enhancing the base's facilities. Glandish was shot and killed by an old enemy who wanted a piece of the action, but Glandish ensured the continued freedom of StarForge Station by killing the enemy with his own returning fire. His groundwork allowed a succession of leaders and administrators to continue growing the station.
